Fix My Eyes

Stand face to face with the younger me
All of the mistakes
All of the heartbreak
Here’s what I’d do differently

I’d love like I’m not scared
Give when it’s not fair
Live life for another
Take time for a brother
Fight for the weak ones
Speak out for freedom
Find faith in the battle
Stand tall but above it all
Fix my eyes on You

I learned the lines and talked the talk
But the road less traveled is hard to walk 
It takes a soldier
Who knows his orders
To walk the walk I’m supposed to walk

The things of Earth are dimming
In the light of Your glory and grace
I’ll set my sights upon Heaven
I’m fixing my eyes on You
I’m fixing my eyes on You
I’m fixing my eyes

When I fix my eyes on Jesus, through His strength, I can do ALL the things He asks me to do. God ways are not our ways. What doesn’t make sense to us doesn’t have to…as God always has a higher purpose for what He calls us to do.

“My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the LORD.
“And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.”
Isaiah 55:8 NLT

For God to do the unimaginable in our lives we must be willing to keep our eyes focused on Him and not be trying to figure things out by our own strength.. He must have full reign over our lives… More of Him and less of Me..

He must become greater; I must become less.
John 3:30 NIV

I love this passage in the Bible where Jesus prays for Simon that his faith would not fail him.

But I have pleaded in prayer for you, Simon, that your faith should not fail.
Luke 22:32a NLT

Our faith is what gives God the ability to work in our lives. You either trust or you don’t—it is as simple as that! What unimaginable are you believing for in your life?

Now all glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work within us,
to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.
Ephesians 3:20 NLT

Heavenly Father, thank You that we can do ALL that You ask us to do by Your strength and power that is at work in us at all times. All we have to do is tap into it… May our faith in You not fail us and please forgive us when it does. In Jesus’ name, AMEN!!!
